For aeromodelling enthusiasts, designing their own rocket or flying aircraft is a bliss. The problem with this is that you need to make complicated calculations and you need to test many prototypes before actually creating the final product. Done manually, this can take a lot of time and effort. A good idea would be to use a computer application that can help you build a virtual model of your design.

RockSim can help you build a rocket or aircraft of any size, then simulate its characteristics and other properties, such as estimated flight height and aerodynamic stability.

Stable model creator

The application allows you to create and design your own rocket model, then analyze its characteristics. You can use the program to determine the optimal properties for your model, so that it will fly at higher heights and longer distances.

Furthermore, you can custom design any component of your rocket, such as stabilizer fins, nose caps or fuel tanks, each with its own material characteristics and flight properties. In addition, you can use the parts provided by the application, or create new ones, then save them in the database.

You can specify the model of your rocket, whether it is single-stage rocket or a multi-staged one, then test how it would behave in a real launch. This way, you can run simulations to see how would your model behave in the real world, before launching any unstable or potentially dangerous prototype.

A powerful and reliable aircraft model creator

RockSim was developed to help you design your own rocket or aircraft model, in order to optimize it before building any real prototype.

You can run flight simulations to see if your calculations are correct and your design is well-balanced. This way you can ensure that the real aircraft will fly as predicted, without any unforeseen problems or complications.
